SEDGWICK COUNTY—A Kansas man jailed for a violent, deadly shooting at a home in Wichita was back in court Wednesday for an arraignment hearing for a crime that occurred five years ago.
Teviaun Sebastian, who was 19 at the time of the alleged crime, pleaded not guilty to charges of 1st degree murder, attempted 1st degree murder, aggravated battery, and criminal discharge of a firearm before Judge Tyler Roush, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
Just before 6:30p.m. Sept. 24, 2021, police responded to a shooting in the 900 block of South Mission in Wichita, according to Officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers found a 37-year-old man with gunshot wounds and a 5-year-old boy who was grazed by a bullet on his back shoulder. EMS transported another 66-year-old victim to a hospital where he died. EMS transported the 37-year-old to a Wichita hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and the 5-year-old boy was treated on the scene.
An investigation determined 19-year-old Teviaun Sebastian, of Wichita, went to a home on South Mission and asked for the 37-year-old man.
When the man came to the door, Sebastian reportedly fired multiple rounds at the man and grazed the boy on the front porch as well. Sebastian then ran on foot to the south and shot the victim who was standing outside.
Several shots struck a neighboring house and although witnesses were outside at the time of the shooting, they were not injured.
Officers located Sebastian on foot in the 1000 block of South Woodlawn armed with two handguns. Police say Sebastian put down both guns and was arrested without further incident.
Sebastian is due back in court on July 29 for a pretrial conference. He remains in the Sedgwick County jail $1 million bond, according to online jail records.
